    Fresh Strawberry Mousse


    Source of Recipe


    Everybody Eats Well in Belgium

    List of Ingredients




    1 lb ripe strawberries, hulled and sliced
    2 tablespoons granulated sugar
    1 tablespoon kirsch or Grand Marnier
    1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
    1 1/4 cups heavy cream (or whipping cream)

    Recipe



    Place half the strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle with the granulated sugar and kirsch. Let macerate for 15 minutes. Puree the remaing strawberries together with the confectioners' sugar in a blender. Whip the cream to stiff peaks. Reserve a quarter of the whipped cream for garnish and refrigerate. Carefully fold the remaining cream into the pureed strawberries. Arrange the macerated strawberries in 4 balloon-shaped wine glasses, reserving a few strawberry slices for garnish. Fill the glasses with the strawberry cream, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a few hours. Pipe the reserved whipped cream through a pastry bag fitted with a star tip over the mousse and decorate with the remaing sliced strawberries. Variation: Substitute an equal amount of raspberries for the strawberries.
